Today we are celebrating! Gudrun of GE Designs has been in business for 10 years, so join us in congratulating her! She has accomplished so much in the 10 years of GE Designs, from patterns and books to designing fabric and dances! Her patterns and books are favorites among the Fat Quarter Shop staff and customers. Her latest book in the Fast & Furious series, Fast & Furious Home is one of those books you just can’t miss out on. The projects are fast and stylish, adding a special touch to your home. Congratulations, Gudrun! We are so excited to be celebrating!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Gudrun during Spring Quilt Market in Portland. We took a booth tour, talked about her Fast & Furious Home book and showed off some of her projects. Have a look at the pretties in her booth!

New designer for me. I especially enjoyed the interview and seeing the booth with the samples. It was interesting how off setting the striped fabric made the one topper look so much more difficult.

I need a jump start and these goodies would surely be just that!
I just love the Slivers pattern, and am entering here with a hope to win something from this giveaway.
